Di Ronghua frowned. “First of all, I’m not a young girl. Secondly, are you sure young girls don’t prefer things like gold and silver jewelry?”
Xiao Yixun chuckled softly. “Alright, I get it. I’ll buy you jewelry.”
Xiao Hanjin’s steps came to a complete halt.
In his line of sight, Xiao Yixun was forcefully pulling her into a jewelry store.
She seemed to struggle for a moment, or perhaps not. She was wearing a pink dress with a black cloak over it—a cloak that looked too large for her, as if the man beside her had casually draped it over her when he noticed she was cold.
In those brief seconds of eye contact, he had actually thought she was looking at him, that perhaps she wanted him to come over.
So he did.
But she immediately looked away, smiling at another man.
It seemed she was truly doing well. Without him, her life went on as usual.
She could now be intimate with another man without a care in the world.
She even let that man call her “Ronghua.”
Heh.
Xiao Hanjin closed his eyes, a hoarse, cold laugh escaping his throat.
How could her feelings change so easily?
…………
Evening, Crown Prince’s residence.
Mu Qingshuang sat in front of the dressing table, staring at the pale, haggard woman in the mirror. Her fingers slowly brushed over the glass.
The door creaked open.
She turned her head and saw that it was Xiao Hanjin, not Feicui. Her eyes lit up instantly. “You’re here?”
“Yes.”
The man walked over to her and placed two bottles of medicine on the table. Only then did Mu Qingshuang notice he had brought something with him. “What’s this?”
“Made from Red Feathers,” the man said indifferently. “It can temporarily control your condition.”
Mu Qingshuang was stunned, her gaze complex and touched. “You’ve been gone for over half a month… just to make this medicine?”
“Qingshuang, I’ve found a place for you in the capital.”
The woman’s expression froze, and she almost instinctively asked, “What did you say?”
Xiao Hanjin looked at her calmly. “Move out.”
Mu Qingshuang’s eyes widened in disbelief. “You made this medicine… just to make me move out?”
“If that’s how you want to see it, then yes.”
“Xiao Hanjin!”
Xiao Hanjin frowned at her suddenly sharp tone. “I let you stay here before because it was convenient for daily treatment. Now that this medicine can temporarily control your condition, I’ll continue to find a cure for your illness. You don’t need to worry.”
Don’t need to worry?
He was kicking her out and telling her not to worry?
Mu Qingshuang looked at his cold, distant face and suddenly laughed, her voice hoarse. “Is this… for Di Ronghua?”
The man’s eyes darkened.
…………
Di Ronghua had eaten something before returning, so it was already dark when she got back.
She walked into her room, closed the door, and was about to take off the heavy cloak when someone suddenly embraced her from behind.
“Ah—”
Almost as soon as the exclamation escaped her lips, it was silenced by the man’s thin, firm lips.
Di Ronghua’s pupils contracted.
In the next second, she struggled desperately, catching a glimpse of the handsome face inches away from hers in the dim candlelight.
Xiao Hanjin.
The moment those three words flashed through her mind, a surge of intense anger erupted.
How dare he come to her?
How dare he treat her like this?!
Di Ronghua bit down hard.
